Most of the loans have current or completed status.
The minimum estimated return is -0.183. The median estimated return is 0.092, and the maximum is 0.284. This seems pretty balanced.
Most of the loans (51%) for debt consolidation.
At least 88% percent of the borrowers employed, and the median of their employment duration is 67 months.
The median upper credit score range is 699, and the maximum is 899. The lower and upper credit score range values are very close to each other.
The median stated monthly income is $4,667, and the maximum is $1,750,003. This is a big difference. 92% of the incomes are verifiable.
The amount of loans are between $1,000 and $35,000, and the median is $6,500.
The median monthly loan payment is $217.7, and the maximum is $2,251.5. This is also a big difference.

Most of the loan amount values are between $1,000 and $10,000. There are some values that are more frequent than the others. Based on the list of the ten most frequent values, it seems like approximately every five thousandth. Setting the binwidth to 5000 shows a decreasing trend.
There is an increasing trend in the number of loans from 2006 to late 2008 and from late 2009 to 2014, and there is a gap between late 2008 and late 2009. Enlarging that timeframe shows that there were almost 0 loans registered in an approximately 10-months period. The most likely reason for this anomaly is the subprime mortgage crisis.

The majority of the monthly payments are between $0 and $500. There are some outliers. 935 loans have a monthly payment of $0. All of those loans are completed, defaulted or the final payment is in progress.
The histogram of monthly incomes shows a serious outlier issue. This supports my feelings about the big difference between the median ($4,667), and the maximum ($1,750,003).
##
## FALSE TRUE
## 112543 1394
Limiting the values to the .99 quantile and setting the binwidth to 150 shows a much better, positively skewed normal distribution. The only thing that does not seem obvious is the high frequency (1394) of the 0 values.

Original amount correlates with monthly payment, term, credit score range lower and credit score range upper.
Credit score range lower and credit score range upper are almost identical. Borrower rate and borrower APR also have a very strong realtionship. This means I can omit credit score range upper and borrower APR. I am going to use credit score range lower and borrower rate only.
I would like to see how original amount and monthly payment depends on other variables, and I am also interested in the changes of different variables over the time.
There are three strong linear relationships between original amount and monthly payment.
This means that original amount cannot describe the variation of monthly payment alone, there must be something else participating in it. Based on the strong correlation between term and monthly payment, and knowing that there are three possible term values, term seems the best next variable to investigate.

Monthly loan payment almost equals to the original amount divided by the term of the loan. Therefore monthly loan payment can be described by original amount and term together.
Let’s see how credit score and borrower rate values affect original amount and monthly payment.
Regardless the relatively strong correlations I cannot find any visible relationship between credit score range lower / borrower rate and original amount / monthly payment.
The last plot seems overplotted, it may worth to revisit it with a lover alpha level.
With the decreased alpha level, I can see some underlying trend, but it is still not enough clean.
Adding term to the plot may help again.
Faceting by term shows a some difference between the previously seen trends.
As term and original amount has a relationship to monthly loan payment adding original amount to the previous plot may make the picture clearer.
Faceting by term and colouring by original amount shows a complex relationship, were both borrower rate, orginal amount and term participates in monthly payment.
I am going to check if stated monthly income can add anything to the picture.
It is clearly visible on this plot (as well), that there are some original amount values that more frequent than the others (approximately every five thousandth), but other than that, this plot cannot help too much.
There is a relationship between monthly loan payment and listing category. Loans for Debt Consolidation have the highest monthly payment, followed by Not Available, Home Improvement, Business and Other.
All the loans before the previously mentioned gap (between late 2008 and late 2009) have a 36-months term. 12-months loans were only occurring for a 2-years period between 2011 and 2013 and were not popular. 60-months loans started to occur at the same time as 12-months loans (in 2011), and there is an increasing trend in the number of those since then.
There is no useful employment status information before late 2006. The Employed category almost replaced the Full Time category in late 2010, this is probably due to a change in the way the data was recorded.
The employment status durations have an increasing trend, but it does not have a strong relation with the changes int the employment status.
Let’s see if there is any relationship between employment status and employment status duration.
There is a relationship between the employment status and the employment status duration. Employed, Full-time, Retired and Self-employed statuses tend to have a higher duration as Not employed or Part-time.
There is no useful listing category information before 2008. New listing categories were introduced in 2008 and 2012 as well. This indicates a change in the way the data was recorded, similarly to listing category.
There is no visible pattern within listing categories.
There is a very strong relationship between the term, the original amount and the monthly payment of a loan. The latter can be calculated from the formers. The monthly payment of a loan increases as the term decreases - short term loans have higher monthly payment than long term loans - and increases as the original amount increases.
Monthly loan payment is affected by the borrower rate, higher borrower rate leads to higher monthly payemnt. This relationship is not affected by either the term or the original amount of a loan.
Monthly loan payment vary differently across listing categories. Some categories has more wide monthly payment range (e.g., Debt Consolidation), others has less wide payment range (e.g., Motorcycle).
The prosper loan dataset contains 113937 observations of 83 variables from 2006 to 2014. At the beginning of my investigation I was trying to understand the meaning of different variables, find issues with how they stored and how can I make the best use of them. As the dataset contains a lot of variables, it was challenging to decide where to start. Finally, I have chosen to start investigation the variables that best representing a loan: original amount, term and monthly payment, and everything else that can have a relationship with them. First I started to plot each variable one by one to have an initial view about what the dataset contains, and how good the quality of it. I was very surprised when I saw that there were loans with 0 monthly payment, but later I realised that those loans are not current anymore. It was also unexpected that there were no loans in the dataset between late 2008 and late 2009 but after some research I understood that the reason for the gap is the subprime mortgage crisis. Later, during the analysis of the relationships between the different variables I realized that the monthly payment is the most important property of a loan, instead of the original amount as I thought before. I found that the term and the original amount of a loan the most relevant parameters to calculate the monthly payment. Borrower rate has an important role as well, however it was quite hard to visualize that relationship. I also found that there is a difference in the monthly payment, and the variation of the monthly payment across listing categories. Analyzing the changes of the variables over the time shown me that there were a few changes in the way how was the data collected. That made it hard to use some categorical variables, like employment status. The standardization of the mentioned categorical variables would lead to an investigation that could make a better use of them. Investigating the dataset without the loans that are for debt consolidation could give a good picture of the choices of the borrowers. Investigating the loans that are paid by debt consolidation would be useful as well.
